[SelectionSunday]

Currently I have 6 teams in the field that already have received (or will receive) Notice of Allegations from the NCAA for their shenanigans in the FBI undercover investigation: Alabama, Auburn, Creighton, Kansas, LSU, and Louisville. Two others (Arizona, USC) could have NCAA-caliber teams, as well.

Translation? Some NCAA bids are likely to open up this summer.

Translation? Gophers odds increasing of making the Dance increasing.

Interesting that you're picking Washington St. I know you like to take some flyers on potential improved teams. Do we know for sure that Elleby is returning?

I'm assuming Elleby comes back. If he doesn't, Wazzu certainly will be excluded in the next projection.

Exactly.

SS, what are your assumptions for the gopher roster? Mostly if Robbins gets a waiver to play.

I expect Carr back.

Gach will get a waiver if he comes here.

Robbins waiver I don’t think is a sure thing, but thinking because of COVID NCAA may be a lot more lenient this year. Also hoping Drake cooperates, as looking at it from the outside, do they think there was tampering?
